I didn’t receive that
The MBS program email the above user is referring to was only recently sent earlier this month on April 9, so that makes sense. I think it was sent to every applicant that didn’t hold an acceptance at the time, including folks on the waitlist since I got it as well.

Were people who were accepted sent an email advertising the CUSM MBS program?
I really don’t think it has any bearing on predicting if we’ll get off the waitlist, since it seemed like a mass email. But if the people who just got off the waitlist yesterday didn’t receive it, then I could be wrong ofc.

Members don't see this ad.

Are they still accepting people not on the waitlist or still waitlisting people?

I emailed them early this week and they said they will finish reviewing all applications by the end of April and send out waitlists and acceptances. If you don’t hear back by then, then you’re on hold and you might hear from them up until the first day of class (July 15).

So, if someone heard back after your interview date then it’s probably best to assume you’re on hold.

Oh got it! I interviewed in December and there hasn’t been much activity there so hopefully anyone in December and on will hear some news soon!

I think there’s a lot of us December and later interviewees who haven’t heard anything yet. Hoping for good news for everyone.

Did anyone hear anything today? I know they’ve been taking people off the waitlist throughout this week, so is it safe to assume they’re not relying on Friday release dates anymore?

I spoke with the admissions office today. They have stopped meeting weekly as they have paused the review process. As of right now they have filled their class. On April 30th is the commit to enroll (CTE) deadline, and they anticipate spots opening. From what the lady I spoke to said, they will begin pulling people off the waitlist first. Everyone else, who has interviewed and not heard back yet, is on "hold." Only after they go through the whole waitlist, and only if they still have spots open, will they start to review candidates who are in the "hold" position. This was a bummer to hear since I am also in the "hold" position, but hopefully this helps you guys understand at what point in the process we are at.

Thanks! I was told something similar via email. But just a clarification, I believe April 30th is the plan to enroll (PTE) deadline. That’s different from CTE

Will CUSM ever send us a paper acceptance letter through the mail? Or does it just end at the email
 
is there anything else that CUSM requires for PTE at this time besides choosing the school on CYMS?
 
Just rescinded my A! This school had kind faculty, great facilities, and I was quite impressed by their visit day. Excited for those of you attending!

hi, for those that received the New Medical Student Checklist, did the facebook group work for anyone? the link seems to be either expired or deleted on my end :/ if anyone has the new link that would be great!!!
 
Was the PTE for CUSM April 30 or May 15?
Their website says May 15, so they must have extended. I’m really hoping that means those of us waitlisted will get some good news in a week or so!!

unrelated to waitlist movement, but do we know if people who get off the waitlist can still get on campus housing? I know that it's very in-demand so i'm wondering if we would still have that option if we (hopefully) get off the waitlist or if we would have to get housing off-campus?

This might be the wrong thread! This is CUSM
 
Accepted off the waitlist (5/10) at 10:24 AM via email. Socal resident (no ties to Inland Empire). Interview invite on September 28, 2023. Waitlisted on December 8th, 2023. Happy to answer any other questions!
